In late May and early June people gathered to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. Local businesses decked their shop windows, there were street parties and the beacon was lit on the Croft. The festivities began on the 18th of May with a Torch Relay in which 9 nominated Sudbury Heroes joined Mayor Ellen Murphy in a short lap around the town centre, carried in cycle rickshaws.
